Seven students took a quiz. Four of these students received a score above 85 percent. Students who received at least an 85 percent go a sticker. What percent of the students ( rounded to the nearest full percentage number) received a sticker? I came up with 60%. Is that correct. Had a hard time with this.
No.
100(4/7) = ?
57% is what I got for the answer
Yay! You're right.
To find the percentage of students who received a sticker, you need to calculate the ratio of the number of students who received a sticker to the total number of students, and then multiply it by 100 to convert it to a percentage.
In this case, you know that four students received a score above 85 percent. To find the percentage, you need to divide the number of students who received a sticker (four) by the total number of students (seven), and then multiply by 100.
4/7 = 0.57 (rounded to two decimal places)
To convert this decimal to a percentage, multiply by 100:
0.57 * 100 = 57%
Therefore, approximately 57% of the students received a sticker, not 60%.
